Is a Copper Roof Really Better Than One Made of Steel?

Contents

Roof One Copper RoofingMetal roofs are considered some of the very best roofing options when installed by professional roofing companies such as Roof One of Michigan on the market and can be made of different metals, such as copper and steel.

Copper roofs are recommended by Shelby roofers as the best choice because they are extremely durable and 100% recyclable, which makes them a wonderful choice for eco-friendly buildings. Copper is a very soft metal, a feature that recommends it for silent metal roofs.

On the other hand, copper roofs are expensive and react easily to temperature oscillations, dilating and contracting more than other metals. This can be controlled, however, by using an appropriate installation technology that must be taken into account when choosing this type of roof sheet.

On the other hand, steel is an alloy that contains iron and other elements. Obtaining it is achieved with a very high energy consumption, but the high degree of recycling still recommends it as an ecological building material. Compared to other metals, steel is the most affordable in price.

The most popular types of steel roofs are those made of:

Galvanized steel – involves the use of a zinc layer to protect the steel from corrosion. This protection prolongs the life of the rooftop and slows down its degradation.

Galvalume – is similar to galvanized steel, zinc being replaced by a combination of aluminum and zinc.

Professional, Knowledgeable, and stress free is how I would describe my experience with Roof One. From first call, a representative actually answers the phone with a friendly welcome. Jason was prompt and quick to come out and give a detailed consultation. Antonio’s crew was amazing! Not only were they on time, but a few minutes early. They made sure to walk me through the process and didn’t leave until the job was complete. Scott helped work with my insurance adjuster and went out of his way to make sure I was completely satisfied. Bill and Sandra in the office treated me like family and Steve, the owner, was very kind and welcomed me to the Roof One family. Phenomenal Job Roof One, my family and I couldn’t be happier - Thank you!

From the beginning to the end, Roof one really impressed me regarding their professionalism when roofing my house. In particular Steve and Mark managed this job wonderfully. The crew they sent over did such a wonderful quality job and made sure my property was free of nails and debris. I would definitely hire this company for a roof job. Very straight forward with their prices and options. I was also grateful they hooked up vent fans and provided a gorgeous flashing for my large chimney. Good job guys! Wish there were more contractors like you!
